Fundraising Through Alumni Connections: Food Truck Collaboration

Winner

Johnson & Wales University

Entry Details

Partnering with alumni-owned businesses like Rico’s Acai food truck has strengthened our chapter's connection to the JWU community while simultaneously raising funds to support CMAA chapter initiatives. This approach highlights alumni success, fosters school spirit, and provides a unique and memorable experience for attendees. It has elevated our chapter’s operations by creating meaningful engagement opportunities that blend entrepreneurship, student involvement, and a clear fundraising purpose to sustain our chapter's activities and goals.

Implementation

This idea was implemented by collaborating with alumni to plan the event, promote it, and feature exclusive elements like a university-themed menu item. Chapter members have been enthusiastic about the collaboration, appreciating its creativity, professional networking opportunities, and positive impact on enhancing the university’s overall school pride.
